My return pump is a sequence hammerhead rated at 5500gph. My question is how do I figure out the turnover rate of the tank? Do I take the size (300gal) of the tank and divide it by 5500? This tells me that the water in the tank gets cycled through 18 times ever hour if my math is correct. Is...

Question? Has anyone heard of a product called “reef pods”? Well I was told that this is good to seed your refugium, will help grow copepods…then I was told to just pour some DT’s plankton in there and that will do it better. Needless to say I did them both so I guess I’ll see and will update...

I just wanted to show my new tank, and tell about the great deal I got on 300 plus lbs of liverock for only $100.00. I didn’t belive it either until I went to pick it up, and he didn’t ask for any more money. The best part is that there is no aptasia on any of it, some of the coralline algae...

I’m looking for a good skimmer any suggestions? Thinking of getting the ASM G-5 for a 300 gallon tank, I use to have a euro reef CS 12 but the euro reefs are too expensive.

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself, I’m not really new to saltwater aquariums. But my first attempt was not the best. Rushed in and it ended up in a disaster, so I switched to freshwater and its just not as exciting to me. Which is why I want to try again, I want to convert my 300 gallon...
